Shioriko Ep. 13: The Unsung Heroine
With Satsuki and Uzuki's help, Shioriko creates a character to embody for the PR video and tries to go on camera. However, all the time spent training has caused Shioriko to neglect her student council work—and it's quickly piling up.
Player
Excuse me! Hello? Shioriko, are you here?
Shioriko
Hello, I'm over here.
Player
I couldn't see you with that mountain of papers in the way.
[Fade in/out.]
Shioriko
It looks like I spent too much time training. I let all of this student council work pile up.
Player
What about Satsuki and Uzuki?
Shioriko
I've asked them to go take surveys with all of the clubs that have made entries to the film festival.
Shioriko
Are you here about the event leading into the festival? Let's sort that out when the other two get back.
Player
Good idea. But first, we need to do something about that pile of paperwork. Is there anything that I can help with?
Shioriko
You're always offering to help me out… If you're sure, can you help me with this data entry?
Player
Leave it to me!
[Fade in/out.]
Shioriko
Phew. With that out of the way, I should be all right to handle the rest myself. Thank you.
Player
You're welcome.
Player
How's the promotional video for the student council coming along?
Shioriko
It's taking a while. I'm in the middle of discussing it with Satsuki and Uzuki.
Shioriko
Although…
| Option 1: “What's the matter?” |
|---|
| Player What's the matter? Shioriko I wonder if it's really a good idea to go ahead with it right now. |
| Option 2: “Are you having trouble agreeing?” |
| Player Are you having trouble agreeing on it? Shioriko Yeah, we still need to do some fine-tuning. But there is something that's bothering me… |
Player
You could always tell me what's wrong, right? Maybe there's something that I can do to help.
Shioriko
I'm not confident that this will really express the good points of the student council, or that all the students will enjoy watching it.
Shioriko
I think Satsuki and Uzuki have a point, and it's clear that they're passionate about it. I don't want to say that they're wrong, but…
Shioriko
What do you think? I trust your opinion, so I want to hear what you have to say.
Player
Hmm. I agree with you about trying to convey the good points, Shioriko. I feel like it's a new side to you.
Player
But I think you're wonderful just as you are. Seeing you give up so much of your own time to help Nijigasaki like this…
Player
Well, I just wonder if maybe that's the side of you everyone would like to see. If they could see that, maybe they'd feel closer to the student council.
Shioriko
You think I'm fine as I am?
Player
How about putting the normal you that nobody ever sees in the promo video, and make that the focus? And I'd love for you to let me write a song that fits the video, too.
Player
I'll write a song that conveys just how much you care about the student council, and Nijigasaki too!
Shioriko
If you're sure… I'd love to try that!
Shioriko
Do you mind if I tell Satsuki and Uzuki what we just talked about? I'm sure that they'll both agree, too!
